The first computers
In 1930 the first analog computer was built by American
named Vannevar Bush. This device was used in World War II to help aim
guns.
Many technical developments of electronic digital comput-
ers took place in the 1940s and 1950s. Mark I, the name given to the
first digital computer, was completed in 1944. The man responsible for
this invention was Professor Howard Aiken. This was the first machine
that could figure out long lists of mathematical problems at a very fast
rate.
